Michigan Advance Partners – Camp Meeting

When thousands of like-minded believers are gathered in the same room with the same purpose: to grow closer to our Lord Jesus, the atmosphere is unique.

This is the atmosphere of camp meeting: all of us together, worshipping our Lord. Christ says that when “two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20). In the Camp Meeting, thousands are gathered together, and Christ is indeed in the midst.

Camp meeting is something to look forward to year after year, for the prayer, and the fellowship, and the revival—but most importantly, for Christ’s presence drawing close to us and our families. Michigan Conference camp meeting would not be possible without Michigan Advance Partners (MAP), which is funded by the faithful giving of Christ’s church. One way to give regularly is to commit 1% of your monthly income to MAP, which will fund camp meeting and other projects and events that we hold close to our hearts.

Today’s loose change will go towards MAP to support camp meeting. You can also give through the Tithe & Offering envelope in the pews or utilize online giving. May the Lord bless you as you give and continue to bless our camp meetings as we seek to draw closer to Him.
